7 ne New York Times Takes Issue with
John g.. Carlisle on His Tariff
Reform Interview.
1t VIII Take q Third Party TO Make Reform
Certain-Until Then 1t Will Come
In Driblets.
Carlisle and tho Tariff

NEW YORK, May An commenting on
the Carlisle interview sent in these dis-
patches yesterday, the Times this morn
ing SAYS: "We have heard predictions
of that sort before. We regret to say ~ ;
cannot accept them as conclusive. IT. y
may be correct, but they may not be.
They are exactly the same as those Mr.
Carlisle presented before the meeting of
Congress at the last session. They are
based on q plausible view of facts, but
not on view that is indisputable. There
is no doubt ofan increasing pressure for
reduction of taxation caused by surplus
revenues, but that pressure is not solely
in the direction of a reduction
of tariff. 1t is not necessarily
in that direction at all. It may be re-
lieved by reduction of internal revenue
taxes. Mr.. Carlisle himself admits that
the tobacco tax may be taken OFF which
would dispose of at least $30,000,00a. 1t
may also be relieved by the repeal of the
duty on sugar which is in intention
protective tax, but which owing to re-
markable changes in the production of
sugar and the very great fall in prices is
not now much else than revenue tax.
The repeal of this tax would take over
$50, 900, 600 from the revenue and with
the repeal of the tobacco tax would COM
pletely dispose of the surplus, or so
nearly that no other changes in the tariff
could be based on the existence of sur
plus. Under all these considerations,
and they are perfectly plain and cannot
be ignored by even the most sanguine,
we cannot agree with Mr.. Carlisle that
the treasury surplus makes the reduction
of the tariff absolutely necessary, nor do
we believe that it can be brought about
by any union of Republicans and Demo
Gratis. Th-re are not enough of the for
mer who would enter on such union,
and the Democrats are sufficiently in
earnest not to make such union feasible
or even inviting. There is only one way
in which tariff reform can be made GER
tain, that is by making it a distinct
national issue. No party is yet ready to
do this. Mr.. Carlisle himself is not
ready for it. Until it is done, however,
the reform will come, if at all, in driblets.

How Hog Cholera May be Spread.
New York Star.

1t has been mystery to many how the
spread so rapidly from one neighborhood
to another. Farmers who pay careful
attention to the sanitary condition of
their swine are not exempt from this
disease, and it has been impossible to
satisfactorily explain the sudden appear
anCe of so-caled hog cholera IN herds of
swine apparently healthy.
A gentleman writing the state depart
ment of agriculture advanced theory
that the disease is spread over the COun-
try by crows and other CarriOn-eating
birds. It is well known that swine will
eat the flesh of hogs t1at have died with
disease, and the statement of Mr.. Ed
wards, the writer of the following letter,
is worthy of some consideration. He
writes as follows:
ga farmer OF my acquaintance in this
locality informed me yesterday that while
picking corn at his home few days ago
he found three fragments of swine flesh
in mis- corn field on the ground. One
fragment was about the size OF mans
thumb, the other two pieces were smaller.
The appearance of the three fragments
indicated that they had been torn-not
cut-trom tne carcass or hog.
Now, as hog cholera prevails to
an alarming extent in this neighbor-
hood, and crows abound in this To-
cality, and the said farmer noticed crows
in their flight crossing and recrossing
over his field during the day he found
the fragments of flesh, he is quite conf
dent that these pieces of fresh swine flesh
were dropped by the crows.
"It would seem from the above that 1t
is very important that all hogs dying frov
disease should be burned or buried ir
mediately in order to prevent the disc ie
from being carried from one farm to
another by crows and other f1esh-eatlng
birds"
The foregoing statement would seem to
demonstrate that it is possible and highly
probable that the dread scourge of hog
cholera is frequently carried from place
to place Oy birds of prey.

GRAHAM, TEX, May Pursuant to a
call, the anti-prohibitionists assembled in
the courthouse Saturday afternoon, and
were called to order by Captain A. B.
Cant, chairman of the executive commit
tee of Young county. After q fifteen
minutes speech the chairman announced
that the meeting was ready for organiza-
ton, and said the first thing in order
would be the election of permanent
officers. Mr.. S. R. Jeffery nominated
Captain A. B. Cant for permanent cnair-
man. There being no other nominations,
the captain took the vote and declared
himself elected.
Sheriff Wallace nominated Mr.. Charles
o. Joline for secretary. Mr.. Joline de-
cIined to serve as he had a pre-engage-
ment. Sheriff Wallace then nominated
Charley Gibson. Mr.. Gibson said he
could not occupy the secretarY's chair as
he was on the side of the prohibitionists,
whereupon Sheriff Wallace nominated W J..
G. Crump, who was elected. The chair
man having explained that the object of
the meeting was not for speech making,
but to select delegates to attend the con-
vention which meets at Dallas, May 4,
John Profitt, J. q. Hill and A. B. Medlin
were nominated and elected. There were
just forty-nIne persons present by actual
count, and 1t is said that over half of

NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL.


CITY OF MEXICO, May 4.-The Senate
yesterday afternoon took up the bill re-
pealing the clause in the constitution
which prohibits second successive term
for the President. After short discus
sion the measure was passed unanimous
ly, forty-three senators voting. The
measure now goes to the legislatures of
the several states for ratification.
In all the higher circles at the capital
little else Is heard but talk of the pros.
pective duel in which the Spanish minis
ter is concerned. On Saturday night at
ball at the Casino the beautiful daughter
of eX-Marshal Bazsine of France, Was es-
corted to supper by Senior Barron. He
was called from the side OF the young
lady by Senior Noriego, who undertook to
chide him for too much familiarity
with Miss Bazaine. Bitter words were
exchanged, and q scene was avoided by
the timely interference of friends. The
Spanish Minister took up the quarrel as
friend of the Bazaine family on the ground
that his countryman had acted improper
ly in dragging the name OF the young lady
into notoriety. Nariega thereupon
quarrelled with the Minister. Again
blows were prevented by bystanders.
This was 2 O'Clock Sunday morning.
Since then negotiations have been going
on preliminary to a duel, while efforts
are being made outside to hush it up.

An observant walters Wealth.

New York Letter to Atlanta Constitution.
The estate of 8 man who shreWdly OBJ
served high society's ways turns out to be
100000 in amount. His name was En-
manuel Solari, and twenty-five years ago
he was common waiter in DelRonico's
restaurant. At that time, and long after,
Delmonico's was the only really exquisite
eating house in town. There are now q
dozen as favored, and several that are
even higher priced. Solari did the wait
ing in two or three of the private supper
rooms, upstairs, and he observed that the
guests resented the positive rule of the
house that no doors be fastened, and that
the walters drop in on every party at in
terVaIs of not more than five minutes.
It wasn't so much that they 5were wick
ed aslthat they disliked to be watched like
school children. Solari thought it all
over and over and over in his heavy Swiss
way and he decided to open q restaurant
where seclusion should be accorded to
those who desired to dine or sup in pri-
vate. He carried out ibis scheme. Solari's
thereafter occupied q unique position
in fashionable regard. 1t was not
8 big establishment. but It's fare
was first rate, and after once serving the
meal as ordered, the waiter entered the
rooms again only in response to the tap
OF bell. The price of this kindly mat
tentlOn was added to the regular charges,
though not specifically, and so SOlari died
worth q vast fortune. His restaurant
was reputable, and yet visit by a not
sedulou.ly chaperoned party was In the
nature of an adventure.

Some of the Maine people who were
duped into joining the Credit Foncier
colonists at Topolobampo, on the western
and the Maine state press gives harrow
ing account of their suferings. They all
charge Albert Owen, the founder of the
community, with gross misrepresentation
to get them to the Wretched spot, which
is a dry, sandy plain, covered
with cactus plants. The colonists
quarreled with the Maine people, small
pox rsvaged them, the food gave out, and
as many as had strength scuttled out of
the horrible hole. The wonder is that a
number of intelligent Americans could be
induced toleave their comfortable homes
and trust their fortunes and lives in the
hands of 8 group of adventures.

pleads for justice due from man to man

with confidence to Canadian free men of
every class and creed to support her in
this struggle for fair play and protection
against evictions which Gladstone truly
describes as sentences of death executed

evening, cool enough for fire. The wind
has been blowing for several days from
the south, warm and balmy, but it turned
to the north to-day, cold and chilly.
Many think the cold here is caused from
the large quantity of hail that fell and lay
upon the ground SO long, six mics
north of here, last Friday night, the goth
inst, during the terrible wind and rain
we had that night Saturday, after the
rain, hail was reported two feet deep at
Oak Dale, six miles north of this place,
in many places where it had been washed
by the water and drifted by the wind
against fences, banks, etc. This melting
hail has gwen US q winter blast Many
of the hailstones sre reported very large;
four stones were said to have been
weighed, and touched the beam at two
and a half pounds.
